It's Wedding Wednesday...Shape Up For The Big Day Part 3

In continuing with our "Shape Up For The Big Day" series, we have reached the third month. Please feel free to bookmark these entries so that you may refer to them later as I realize we are not doing this on a monthly basis and in reality if you have started the program would not have gotten to this point yet.

Month 3

This is usually when people start to give up. Get out your diary, and flip back to your first entry. Remind yourself why you are doing this. Also, flip ahead in your calendar and check how quickly your wedding day is approaching: Aren't you glad you started exercising weeks ago? Weigh yourself and take your measurements again. Are you making progress? Even if you haven't lost weight, you should see some results in your muscle tone. Good to know: Muscle weighs more than fat, so you might have gained a few pounds, but you've most likely turned some of that fat into muscle.

Weeks #9 and #10

• 40 minutes of aerobic activity at least three times a week
